IU unchanged in both polls at #13 (links).

Cig is trying to change the mindset of indiana football fans and that means we have to get out of the mindset that everyone is against us. I am not mad our ranking didn’t change and I am not mad that Texas a&m jumped over us. On paper they had a much better win and as much as I love our wins we still have not played any opponent ranked in the top 25. So, someone without rose colored glasses on could argue we are lucky to even be ranked. A few weeks ago the idea of IU even being in the conversation of the playoff was laughable. Now, it is being discussed by everyone. There’s no way a 0 or 1 loss IU team is held out of the playoffs, but we have to keep winning. Two or more losses doesn’t get us there.

Officiating and rankings won’t always be the way we want them. We will get some bad/missed calls, but we will also benefit from them. We are 8-0 and have fan bases around the country hating us for our success, but at the same time wishing Cig was their coach. Keep winning and we will go up in ranking. Enjoy the ride and appreciate the spotlight we are under because we are in the midst of a season we have spent our entire lives dreaming of. Whether we were ranked 13 or 1 today the only ranking that matters is the one released after we beat Purdue.

As opined in multiple threads before, an 11-1 Indiana team can, and probably would, be left out of the CFP, assuming no weird stuff happens. I don't think the CFP humans select 4 B1G teams for the CFP field (essentially 3 of 7 At Large spots). If IU is considered 4th best in the B1G, prepare to be disappointed. With a 12-0 Indiana, OSU will be left out. If OSU had stumbled yesterday, 11-1 Indiana's chances go way up. I'm not saying an 11-1 IU wouldn't deserve a spot over ... say an 11-1 team that lost to .. say Northern Illinois ... but that's where IU sits today.

Just go 1-0 vs. MSU.

Tenn Scrimmage - What Do You Want To See?

A majority of teams run a two big lineup. That's not what matters, it's what the two bigs do and how they fit into the scheme. Generally, the lane's not clogged, that's what matters and if opposing teams start to sag and cheat on Malik and how he shoots. Plus, Mack has gotten a lot of run at four today.

And Malik hits one right on cue...

ND should be behind IU. Northern Illinois lost to Ball State and is 4-4. They have played a soft schedule too. That loss should take them outside the top 15.

They’ve got a worse loss but a better win (A&M).

If IU starts the season ranked, we’re ahead of ND right now. As it is, we started way outside, so we’re behind. No sweat. Keep winning each week and it’ll work out.

Great. Another two big lineup. Nothing changing it would appear.

Did we take Washington lightly? I’m not saying to take anyone lightly, but if he’s questionable would you rather risk it against a lesser opponent than Michigan or OSU? Or at least, keep him ready if needed?

I’m all about having Rourke healthy down the stretch, as I don’t believe we have as good a chance vs Michigan/OSU with TJ as we do Rourke, but vs MSU its not as much a concern.

At the end of the day, he’s only going to play if the medical staff says he’s ready anyway. But if I’m Coach, I’m holding him back. But, I’m not so we’ll see.

If he’s cleared to go, he’ll go.

CCC will tell you the same as any other coach, the most important game is this game because it’s the one we’re playing this week.

Purdue Loses Exhibition

It doesn't sound good if Porkchop played 11 players in 8 minutes and 3 players scored 70 points. Seems like in an exhibition you should have balanced scoring. Sounds like teams only need to stop one of those 3 to beat PU. That has been why I think they are not going to be really good.

Why do losers come here unless you are worried about what we will say about the Toiletmakers? IU may lose at Tennessee today or not. Either way, I won't run over to see what you idiots think.
